skillgen

skillgen is a command for coding agents from redhat-vmeperf/agent-tasks-template. It costs 19 tokens per session (152 once invoked), scanned A, original, Unlicense.

A command for creating a new agent skill from a repeated workflow or a written description. It runs the work through four review stages, including human approval.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to describe a skill to create, resume work at a later review stage, or jump to a named stage such as analysis, generation, security review, or activation.
Why use it?
It turns recurring work into a defined skill while keeping review points before the skill is generated and activated.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

skillgen scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Load the skillgen skill and execute it with the following arguments: $ARGUMENTS

If no arguments are provided, ask the user to describe the skill they want to generate, or describe the recurring workflow pattern they want to codify.

Arguments reference:

  • /skillgen <description> — Start the pipeline from Gate 1 with a manual skill description
  • /skillgen resume:<N> <skill> — Resume the pipeline at Gate N (e.g., after revisions)
  • /skillgen gate:<name> — Jump to a specific gate (analyze, generate, security, activate)
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
